Moderators Andavari Posted May 4, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2010 Does anyone know how to get under the hood of SRWare Iron beyond it's basic settings? I'd like to completely disable animated GIF images, but can't find any relevant searches that state how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalj Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 You mean block ads? Have a look at AdBlock and AdThwart. I personally use AdThwart, but they are both good. Piriform Software User Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalj Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 You can't just block .gif images, many websites use them. For example, the program images on filehippo.com are in .gif format. If you blocked .gif images, you wouldn't be able to see (for example) the CCleaner icon on this page. Piriform Software User Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted May 5, 2010 Author Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thank you for the suggestions however you misunderstood what I was asking. I stated to disable animated GIF's, i.e.; stop them from being animated not block them entirely. I no longer need any help though because I've already removed SRWare Iron since I like to dig into a browsers settings far more than it allows.

Aethec Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Is there a browser that allows you to do that ? Firefox's about:config doesn't seem to have anything related to GIFs Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted May 5, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2010 In Opera it's something like about:config>multimedia> untick show animation. In IE8 its internet options>advanced>multimedia>untick play animations. Don't know about firefox but must be something similar. SRWare has not option for this as yet as far as I know.

Moderators DennisD Posted May 5, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2010 For a quick "gif" fix in Firefox, just press the escape key. For a permanent one, stick "about:config" (no quotes) into the address box, scroll down to "image.animation_mode", and change the "normal" to "none".

You're right, and you're wrong. Blocks some, but not others, and doesn't affect the CCleaner image: I can live with that, but if folk can't, the "escape key" fix can be used selectively.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 5, 2010 Author Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2010 Is there a browser that allows you to do that ? Firefox's about:config doesn't seem to have anything related to GIFs Firefox allows it which is one of the main reasons I use it, simply because the animation gets on my nerves far too quickly. Same thing DennisD already mentioned, but with easier to follow instructions: Disable or Enable animated GIF images in Firefox -------------------- Disable animated GIF images in Firefox 1. Type about:config into the Firefox address bar. 2. In Filter use the following: image.animation_mode 3. Double-click the listed image.animation_mode entry, then type in value: none 4. Close then restart Firefox for the settings to take effect. -------------------- Enable animated GIF images in Firefox 1. Type about:config into the Firefox address bar. 2.
